Senate Preparing to Vote on Redistricting Plan

The redistricting process is being played out in Tallahassee and it appears legislators will soon be voting on maps.

Throughout the last few weeks, Senate and House committees have been reviewing proposed maps, many of them proposed by members of the public. Yesterday, the Senate Reapportionment Committee finished it's hearings on southwest Florida and said it would be ready to vote on the maps after the Thanksgiving holiday. Chairman Don Gaetz said the maps will be released on Nov. 28 and will be debated starting the week of Dec. 6.

The House has said they will be ready to release their maps the first week in December as well.
